What it is

Cherry halves are typically produced from whole cherries that have been pitted and cut in half. They are often packed in syrup or juice to preserve their texture and flavor. Cherries are stone fruits grown on trees.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cherry halves primarily for their sweet taste and fruit flavor. They are commonly found in canned fruit mixes, ice cream, yogurt, baked goods like cookies and pies, and as a topping for desserts.

Health notes

Cherry halves are considered a food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They provide natural sugars and some vitamins and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cherries and their components. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Cherries are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
